'An urban oasis' first comes to mind when I think about our first visit to Prospect Park. The…read moreoverall experience was certainly positive, with some fine points. As a visitor to the city, finding parking on a weekday afternoon was near impossible, until it became possible after what felt like 25 minutes of searching for a spot. The park is truly sprawling and there are many places to explore, including pavilions, bridges, falls, a pond, a creek, and endless paved trails. We also couldn't help but notice that the park overall may not have been maintained consistently, based on the extensive weeds in fountains, for instance. We saw at least two cafes that had pastries, sandwiches, and beverages on their menu that looked good enough to make us think we'd definitely go there if we lived locally. All in all, I'm grateful for this space being available for locals and visitors to enjoy, and hope it is maintained and stays open for many more years.

I learned to ride a bike at this park. Many fun childhood memories rolling down the big hill and…read moreplaying in the snow or autumn leaves. Great amenities and a skate park was added. The park also features beautiful views of the Narrows. It's one of my favorite places to catch sunset views. Only downside is the stench that emanates from the wastewater treatment plant nearby (since 1952). FYI, for those interested, you can enter a lottery to tour the wastewater treatment plant! Owl's Head Park has a rich and interesting history. You can read more about it here: https://www.nycgovparks.org/parks/owls-head-park/history If you ever find yourself in this quiet part of Bay Ridge, it's definitely worth a visit.

I've been to this park on several occasions--most of which came when I didn't live in the area, but…read morenow that I live just a few blocks away, I've only been here two or three times. Nonetheless, my daughter wanted to have some friends/family celebrate her birthday here. The park is a decent size park, where a lot of people have set-ups for birthdays. A short distance away, they have a play area for the children to do their thing. If you walk up a bit, you can get some nice anemic photos toward the water, during this part of the season, you may spot a cherry blossom tree, or two. Overall, it's a wonderful family oriented park. I'd say if you have children, a dog, a mate who enjoys walking, a couple friends who want a picnic and/or some quiet time, this park would definitely suit your needs!

Today, I strolled over with little Karen but she fell asleep. So here I am, with all the time on my hands, writing this review. Lovely park, very quiet and peaceful. Been here many times whether its a quick rest before or after shopping at Century 21, walking distance, or it's just beating the crowd in my neighborhood park, Leif Ericson. Unfortunately, there isn't a restroom around so be prepared! Otherwise, plenty of benches and a couple of tables, so get your pizza pies delivered here and enjoy a nice lunch!

The view is excellent and the park is pretty large while not being too expansive. It's a great place to bring your kiddo to play some soccer or hit the playground. It's an even better place to eat your locally purchased Bahn Mi sandwich. The park is clean, well populated and ready for your visit.

I was born and mostly raised living in Sunset Park, which I know is separate and apart from the…read morepark itself, but obviously, I look at the two as the same. There's been many changes to the park over the years from the pool, to the dungeon (the inside part of the pool, the basketball court and the play area. I would say most of the changes have been for the better, but I still do miss some of the old days. The park is huge and stretches over several blocks and has various entrances. I would say for the best views come in through the 5th Avenue entrance on either 43rd or 44th street. You can get a nice scenic view once you're in the middle of the park. I would say if you're in the neighborhood or visiting "Industry City" that you should pass through the park, if the water calls for it.

The side road surrounding the park has lots of cracks and uneven pavements, that makes walking around kind of hard.

Today it was still covered in snow and ice from the recent winter storm we had. From what I've read it's also a decent catch and release fishing spot with largemouth bass, bluegills, and other fish populating the waters. Also, it's a 55 acre man made freshwater lake. I need to bring my rod here this summer and get some fishing in!

Soon as you enter the main gate there are benches and grass area to sit. Walking pathways are kind of narrow and shared with kids riding their bikes and scooters.

There are lots of slides for kiddies to older children and all play areas are newly constructed, colorful, and sturdy. Kids will have fun running up and down all of the areas. It is a predominantly Othrodox neighborhood, everyone minded their own business and continued playing. Park is kept clean and very well maintained. One of the nicest parks in Brooklyn.
